AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli has saluted Samuel Chukwueze after he crowned a heart-warming display with his first goal for the Italian club in a UEFA Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund.

Chukwueze has struggled to find form at Milan since his summer transfer from Villarreal, but he showed glimpses of his class in Tuesday night’s 3-1 home loss to Dortmund.
He scored a super individual goal to draw Milan level by half time and overall he had a good game before he was subbed off late in the encounter.
It was a massive way to announce himself to the fans at the San Siro.
“I am happy; finally, he was decisive in the offensive phase. There are important signs of growth from him that will facilitate his integration,” Pioli commended.
Milan are bottom of Group F with five points from as many matches.
They will now need to win at Newcastle in a final group game and hope Dortmund stop PSG to have any chance of advancing to the round of 16.
